Been a bit pissed off with the turbo recently, its just been sat there in the garage and i cannot be fucked doing any work on it as i want my mate to finish it off. But he is to busy at the moment to fit it in so i have decided to get off my arse and do as much as i can do on it myself. Just spent a hour on it making the new slam panel fit properly.

The waste left from ?100 worth of slam

The cut out at the rear of it to let the manifold pipes fit

ROFLMFMO you shud see the inside of the fucking thing if you think it looks bad how it is!

The slam is just chucked on to get it out of the way, was scratching the wings as i just had it thrown over the engine bay :lol: O well they needed painting anyway. Rick

Done some more on it today, now the rad is bolted firmly in place, the slam panel is cut out right and bolted in place and i have started to hang the intercooler, if i can carry on at this pace it shud be ready for paint in a week.

I hope if my mate clears the shit FixOrRepairDaily out of his garage he will have it in for paint in the next 3 weeks as its got to visit JP exhausts first. Then i am looking towards a new year mapping session. Rick
